A perfect chill relaxation after a long 72 hours Jamming. I love building sandcastle and I like how they slowly melt away with the waves. Best place to build sandcastles are down at the water
This was really nice and relaxing! I had a lot of fun making castles and flower designs in the sand. I did wish I could clean up all my sticks, but great job!
I definitely loved the touch of the waves breaking down the sandcastles the most. I wish there was a way to erase or break down some of the stuff you built since you can't build everything on top of each other.
That was so satisfying! Just really pleasant. I like that you can build a wall up front to keep everything in back protected, and that you can occasionally repair it when the big waves come. Really makes it feel like actually building sand castles! I wish you could stack things to build upwards and could dig moats, too. Making art knowing it's going to get destroyed is kind of freeing.
An interesting take on the theme :) Nice and relaxing. It would be cool if you could place things on top of other things to create more complex castles.
This reminded me of an incredibly obscure game for windows95, Scholastic's The Magic School Bus Explores the Ocean , that i used to play when i was 7 lol, good job :D
It seems to me that your idea of sand castles is more suitable not for a fixed location of objects, but for a more free one. Even if the objects intersect unrealistically, this gives more creative freedom. At the same time, I like the opportunity to put one object on top of another, which results in a "two floors".
I like that the wand seems to have been brought by the sea, it needs to be picked up and dragged to the castle. Very beautiful cover. In game art, a similar visual style would look great (hand-drawn textures, for example).
Relaxing little game, nice way to start the day with calm. As mentionned before a little bit more of creative freedom for placing sandcastles would be really cool :) I also expected the sandcastles to block the waves in a way, and trying to protect my beloved castle from the sea, just like when I was a little boy on the beach. That would have added a more 'fun' dimension to that game but I get it as it was maybe not your goal with this entry :)
I don't know what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised when I played it. Soothing to the max, something you can sink some time into if you're looking to chill. Very well done, I love the way your approached the theme!

really satisfying concept, great work !!!
i wish there were more forms and frames to get deeper into the professional castle building shit :)
Nice and relaxing.

Good job!
➕ unexpected genre for jam
➕ very addictive
➖ sticks can not be removed
➖ a bit dark for me
I’ll note that I made a game with a similar theme a couple of years ago, so + additional respect for this). Here is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/sandsea
